RAMON BOV, OF NEW'YORK, N. Y.

HAR-WAVING APPLIANCE.

Application led October 17, 1922. Serial No. 595,077.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, RAMON Bov, a sub- 'ect of the King oi- Spain,residing at New lYork city, State of N ew York, have invented certainnew and useful improvements in Hair-Waving Appliances, of which theJfoll lowing is a specification.

This invention is a hair-dressing device and has for its object theprovision oi a simple and inexpensive mechanism by the use of which apermanent wave may be 'formed in the human hair. A particular object ofthe present invention is to provide means whereby the hair-engagingmembers may be locked in a set position while torming the hair so thatthe wave produced in the hair will remain for a long period so that it.will be practically per-manen rlhe invention is illustrated in theaccompanying drawings and will be hereinafter fully set forth.

ln the drawings- Figure 1 is a view showingmy improved device applied tostrands of hair as it appears when in use;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view ot the device removed from the hair;

Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the hairengaging members open to receivethe hair;

Fig. l is a plan view showing the hair-engaging members closed and inthe position assumed when in use;

Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the same, and

Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a plurality of hair-engagingmembers, each of which consists of a trough-like body 1 having its sideedges serrated or provided with teeth 2. These trough-like hair-engagingmembers are provided with pertorations 3 through their bottoms so as topermit a circulation or' hot air or other forms ot heat through the hairwhich may be secured in the trough. Constructed to tit within eachtrough-like body l is an upper coveringl member 4 which is of similarshape and is provided with pertorations 5 through its bottom. At one endthe covering member is formed with a hook 6 adapted to engage through anopening 7 in the adiacent end of the base member l and therebyV hingedlvconnect the two members, as will be readily understood upon reference toFig. 6. At the opposite end of the upper covering member, I secure aspring latch 8 which is adapted to pass through a notch 9 Jformed in theend ot the base member and engage against the under side of the saidmember so as to hold the two members in closed relation to clamp thehair between them. Each set or series of hair-engaging devices mayinclude any desired number of units and t-o the under side of each unitor base member 1, I pivotally attach one end of a link 10 whereby theunits are held together but may have relative movement. Bv referring toFig. 5 more particularly, it will be noted that the links are pivoted atlixed points to the alternate members and to the intervening membersthey are connected by pin and slot connections, as shown at l1. This pinand slot arrangement will permit the relative endwise movement of theunits to be varied within the limits permitted by the slots so 'thatwaves ot greater or less length may be formed in the hair according` toindividual preferences. l also pivotally attach to the under side ofeach end unit of each series or set, posts 12, one of which posts hassecured to or formed integal therewith a locking pin 13 which is adaptedto pass through a diametrical opening formed through the other post, asshown in Fig. 6, and in the latter post is mounted a binding screw 14which is adapted to bear upon the pin and secure the same rigidly in thepost so that the several units will be locked in the position in whichthey may be set.

In using the apparatus, the upper or covering members 4; of the severalunits are swung to open position, as shown in Fig. 3, and the units areall arranged in extended spaced relation, as shown in said ligure, thelink connections between the units serving to hold them parallel, asshown. The device is placed in position upon the head of the personwhose hair is to be treated and so much of the hair as may beaccommodated by the units is placed over the base members of the same.The upper members are then brought down over the hair and will be heldin the closed position by the action of the several latches 8 in anobvious manner. The units are then given relative endwise movement inopposite directions so as to assume the positions shown in Figs. l, etand 5, the binding screw 14 being'then turned home so that the parts.

will be locked in the position illustrated. As the several units aregiven relative endwise movement, they will be caused to move toward eachother longitudinally oit the series or set through the action of thelinks and the hair engaged by the several units will be, consequently,moved first to one side and then to the other side so that waves will betermed therein. Heat is then applied tothe device by the application ofwet cloths or in anyl otherV preferred manner or the hair may bemoistenedsomewhat before being engaged in the several units and then dryheat applied by the application of an air blast or otherwise.k Thelperforations through the several members permit the heat to circulatethrough the hair and when the excess moisture has been driven trom thehair, the device may be removed, whereupon it will be found that thehair has assumed a waved or curled term which will remain lixed for along.;` period and will not be entirely lost unless the hair. berepeatedly combed or brushed in such a manner as lto positively returnit to a straight condition.

My device is very simple in its construe` tion and eiicient inoperation. lt may be easily. manipulated and7 as it is constructed oflight metal, it will not be uncomfortable when in use, and inasmuch asthe hair is en-V gaged between two clamping' members, it is protectedagainst the'directaction of eX- cessive heat so that it is not relievedof all natural moisture and rendered brittle.

ifiviei Having thus described the invention,V

what is claimed as new is: y

l. A hair-waving device comprising a plurality of hair-clamping`members, link connections between theV several members whereby they mayhave movement toward Y or `from each other lengthwise of the series bersof the series, said links being pivoted at fixed points on alternateunits and having slots in their tree ends, studs on the intermediateunits each engaged by the slotted ends of two links, and means mountedon the under sides of some oly the units for locking the series ofunitsin a set position.V Y.

A. hair-waving` device comprising a set Y of hair-*engaging units, linkconnections be-.

tween theseveral units whereby tney may have relative movement towardand from eachother lengthwise o'l-V the set and also for relativeendwise movementl transversely o'l2 the'set, posts pivotally mounted onthe `under sides ot some of the units, a locking pin carried by one ofsaid posts and extending through the other post, and means cai'.-

ried'by the latter post 'orloc-king thepin therein. v
